no Ferrari's made the list! lol 599 must be too ugly

i like that they put the s65 over the maybach, even though they are so similiar - its not just the price tag that matters.

Ya I def would have put the F430 (I guess it's not new for '07 though) in there something. I love that S65, but the Maybach prob wouldn't be on my list. I'm also glad they put the S8 in, what a car.

Now that I look at the list again...I don't think the Caddy would be on it either IMO.

I think the maybach 57S is a gorgous car. Got to see one up close in NYC. I dont think The Bentley should be #1 though. I would of put the 997 Turbo #1. I also think the Caddy should not be on the list.

is it only me or does this list seem a tad screwed up? I do not know i have already lost all faith in robb report. I open the magazine and the first 40+ pages are ads before i even get to the table of contents, and then every other page is an ad. Why pay upwards of ten dollars for a magazine that is nothing but advertisements. Sounds like they make serious money providing very little in return.
